About Mini corn muffin

Mini corn muffins are small baked goods made primarily with cornmeal, flour, eggs, milk, and a sweetener. Cornmeal, derived from dried corn kernels, originates from Native American cuisine and has been adapted across various cultures, most notably in Southern United States cooking. These muffins are compact, easy to portion, and often served as a side dish or snack. Nutritionally, mini corn muffins provide a source of carbohydrates due to the cornmeal and flour content, along with small amounts of protein and fats from eggs and milk. However, they are often moderate in sugar depending on the recipe, making them a quick energy source with limited fiber unless whole-grain cornmeal is used. Mini corn muffins are also low in vitamins and minerals, although they may contain small amounts of B vitamins from eggs and some trace minerals like magnesium from the cornmeal.

Health Benefits

• Cornmeal in mini corn muffins provides magnesium, which supports bone health and muscle function.
• Eggs used in the recipe are a source of B vitamins such as B12, which aid in energy metabolism.
• The carbohydrates from cornmeal offer a quick energy source beneficial for active individuals.
